‘Loser’ winner: Show was ‘such a blessing’

No ‘favorite things’? Say it isn’t so-prah!

Not even a case of the sniffles
Sayid: He’s not big on the whole torture thing anymore, but Sayid is still the man to see to ferret out a villain. And he’s the only one smart enough to ask “Why don’t we just kill him?” when there’s a known interloper in their ranks. If the rest of the Losties want to live, keeping Sayid around makes sense.
Death odds: 13:1

Ben: Despite viewer complaints about this season being too Others-heavy, Ben is still the creepy bright spot among the baddies. There are bound to be attempts on his life, but with his talent for survival, none will succeed.
Death odds: 14:1

Sawyer: Bringing the beefcake and the load-bearing side of the permanent love triangle, Sawyer and his powers of nicknaming (the ban on which should soon be lifted) will continue to irritate and entertain for at least one more year.
Death odds: 15:1

Jack: Though it’s not hard to think of several good reasons to put a fork in him, Jack’s the A-plus of the A-list and thoroughly secure. Even bringing traitor Juliet into camp and leading with his “because I said so” manner isn’t enough to stop him.
Death odds: 16:1

Kate: The safest female castaway, hands down. Kate can track, con and lead — she’s like Locke, Sawyer and Jack all rolled up in a rosy-cheeked package with freckles. Her main fault, being wishy-washy when it comes to men, will hardly be her downfall.
Death odds: 16:1

Even if rumors hold true and it’s the final curtain for five Losties, only one or two will be sadly missed. Remember, this is “Lost.” Scads of no-name redshirts running around at both camps await their big date with death.

And what about a twist? Well, the show has already brought someone previously thought dead back to life. If Mikhail doesn’t reprise his death scene, there’s still room for, say, Jack's dad, Christian Shephard, to fill the bill.

But if either Paulo or Nikki come crawling out of the grave, expect a viewer revolt.
